Boost your hunters in Evolve while puzzling on the go with Evolve: Hunters Quest

By Will Fulton Published February 16, 2015

Evolve, Turtle Rock Studios’ hotly anticipated monster vs. hunters multiplayer game, now has a free mobile companion game, Evolve: Hunters Quest. The game is available now for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.

Hunters Quest looks like a typical match-3 game, with players swiping icons around to create and clear matching lines of three or more. Chaining together combos of cascading matches powers up special abilities for your hunters to use, much like in match-3 games such as Marvel Puzzle Quest.

What makes Hunters Quest stand out from its peers is a direct connection to Evolve. Playing Hunters Quest earns you Mastery Boosts that can be applied to your hunters in the main game. You can also unlock special badges for Evolve by completing special objectives in Hunters Quest.

Once Evolve arrives, Hunters Quest will gain a whole new suite of features to help you track your stats in the main game. Detailed statistics, global rankings, and top-down replays of your last ten games will be stored on your my2K profile and accessible on the go through Hunters Quest.

Evolve arrives on February 10 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Hunters Quest is available for free now on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 gets a visual upgrade but stays wonderfully familiar

THPS 3 + 4

The year was 2001, and I was flat on my back in the middle of the street after bailing hard from a failed ollie.

Once I dusted myself off, I decided to try again, but in a safer, more digital aspect. Two decades ago, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 devoured my free time, and now the remake is back and doing the exact same thing. An excellent remake, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 brings two classic titles to a modern audience but adds little to the original experience in a way that leaves the game feeling curiously anachronistic.

The best PlayStation launch games, ranked

The most important time in a console's life is its launch. This is when a new piece of hardware needs to prove that it is worth investing in, which always comes down to games. Launch titles are rarely the best games on the system, although some of Nintendo's launch games buck that trend, but at least need to show off what the system can do. PlayStation always had a secondary selling point with its consoles, such as doubling as a CD player or DVD player, so it is interesting to speculate how successful those early consoles would've been judged solely on their games. We now have launch titles from the PS1 all the way up to the PS5 (and soon to be PS6) to look back on with fresh eyes to see just how good those first games were.

The Switch 2 is the perfect example of why console launches don’t feel special anymore

I will never forget the unbearable excitement I felt on that early morning on my 7th birthday. It was 1998, and Pokémon was the biggest thing in the world, especially for an elementary school kid like me. Except that I didn't have a single card or game to my name. In fact, I didn't even have a Game Boy. That, plus Pokémon, was the only thing I asked for that birthday, and I knew I would get it.

I can still remember lying awake half the night, unable to sleep while my imagination ran wild with unrealistic machinations of what the game would be like. I woke up just as early to the sounds of my parents and sister setting up decorations downstairs and bided my time before I could go down. It was a school day, but they could sense my excitement well in advance and agreed to let me open one thing before school.
